“The services that government provides its constituents, partners, and employees are increasingly benchmarked against user experience in other walks of their lives. It is not surprising that customers expect the same options, quality, and level of service from government as they receive from retailers, technical support, consumer services, and others they contact on the phone, online, and more. As it turns out, the way users choose to interact with public sector organizations is not identical to commercial providers, but there are similarities—and some distinct differences. Join this discussion to learn what recent government-commissioned and independent research shows about how John Q. Public prefers to be served and the inherent challenges and opportunities for government organizations.”
